Hi everybody!
Just wanted to let you all know that Samuel John arrived October 7th.. He weighed 7 lbs, 11 oz, and was 22 1/2 inches long.
Unfortunately, he had to spend the last week in the hospital getting megadosed w/ antibiotics due to some tests that showed he may have had some sort of infection. The good news is that all is clear now and he is as healthy as can be and home with us now.
I also wanted to share my labor/delivery experience with you all to let you know how much "being fit" helped as far as the whole experience: I had a pretty yucky time of it--Sam was born face up, ended up being stuck in my pelvis, and my epidural never kicked in. After 2 1/2 hours of pushing, and the doctor having to use forceps, he was finally able to be born.
After it was all over,the doc told me that if I hadn't of had so much endurance and was so fit and strong, he would have had to have done a C-section...
So thanks, Cathe, for helping me stay healthy and strong to get through the experience. It was great to see how being fit really paid off!!
In the meantime, I am immensely enjoying being a new mom and bonding w/ Sam.
Best wishes to you all..
Lynn
